And Father Martin had left him, and
now sat in the evening cool and thought
of many things-of his boyhood, when
the entrance to the priesthood was held
up to his Youthful mind as the summit
Of ambition; then of his tate in the
Jesuit seminary, where, as another IN
like position once said, his battle was
with nocturnal fear and the MONDAY

won't through the fires" until, in de
spaIr at his own watering faith, he
rushed on to the fatal step of becoming
a monk, trusting that the sacrifice
would bring its own peace.
Then, in the quiet life of the clOister.
his doubts returned with threefold force,
and, in the hope that active work
among his IellOwmen might crush the
tOrmentlng demon out of him, he
begged tor his secularizatiOn, and had
now been for sone years parish priest
OF Grunenau.
But, scholar and student as he was,
the narrow round among a sparselv
scattered rural population fretted him
lnCOnCeiYably. Daily the thought re-
CARED to him of how many things the
church enjOiDed on him in which he
had no faith, and with which, try rs he
might he could not put himself IN SYM
FaJhy.
To him, in this state of loneliness and
doubt, had come an unexpected pleas
